I am looking for any suggestions on books covering small steam locomotives, such as Porters, Vulcans, etc. Preferably something with technical information on many different units and a good deal of photos. This is for a small 2 1/2" scale 2-4-0 that I have been working on over the years.

I am also looking for info on small Cooke built 2-6-0s, and in particular the ex-Augusta RR 300. History, technical info, and if anybody out there still has some of the parts from her.

Thanks,
Eric

Augusta 300 still exists, although she doesn't look much like her old self.

You might try to get a copy of this book if you want some good Porter details.
